Your status, appearance and units
Set your status, the look of the app, your units and how Soma reads you.
Your status
Tell Soma when a day isn't like the others:
- Tap the person icon at the top left.
- Under Today, tap Status.
- Pick Training, Resting, Travelling or Unwell.
Today, status changes two things: Ask Soma's answer on whether to train hard (Resting and Unwell hold you back), and a mark under that day in your calendar. Your scores don't change with it.
Appearance
Under General, Appearance has:
- Mode: System, Light or Dark.
- Theme: Standard or Landscape, with a photo behind the app.
- App icon: Default, Night, Graphite, Ocean, Midnight, Violet, Mint, Sunset or Aurora.
Words and measures
Language and units sets metric or imperial, then temperature (°C or °F), blood sugar (mg/dL or mmol/L), energy (kcal or kJ), 24 or 12 hour time and the day your week starts. Soma is in English for now. Other languages will show here as they're translated.
How Soma reads you
Customization holds what Soma knows about you: your focus, body clock and skin type, the span your usual ranges cover (30, 60 or 90 days), heart rate zones, move goal, Zone 2 minutes a week, water and last meal time, and whether answers are short or detailed.
The rest of General
- Shortcuts chooses the tiles behind + in Ask Soma.
- Programs holds guided programs: Sleep debt reset, Zone 2 base, Morning light, Calm afternoons, Earlier dinners, Strength base and Screen-free evenings.
Siri and the Shortcuts app can also ask Soma, open your journal and set your status.
